PROJECT ZERO

Una, which for more than 70 years researches and develops adhesives for the footwear market, presents Project Zero.

Project Zero is an ambitious partnership proposal, where through the implementation of the Unagreen Bonding System, a differentiated work concept developed by Una’s Application Engineering, it enables the direct attack on Waste, Rework and Return, the main villains of the footwear, bringing their indexes closer to ZERO.

The significant decrease in these expenses will bring, among other advantages, an increase in profitability for your company.

WAST
Almost invisible losses present in most industries in the sector. Its main causes are: solvent evaporation, catalyzed glue without conditions of use after a few hours and excessive consumption when applying the glue. Here the numbers are impressive. Cases are usually found with up to 56% of waste.

REWORK
It is the eternal coming and going of footwear on the production line. It is common to find up to 5% rework on a production line.

DEVOLUTION
It is the result of failures in the production process that end up generating customer dissatisfaction, loss to the brand and consequently loss of market. Incalculable values.

UNAGREEN

The Unagreen Line (Una’s water-based adhesives) is constantly presenting new products with the most advanced technology to meet all the needs of the national footwear industry. 

Today, Unagreen adhesives are present in the main brands, gluing the most diverse materials used in the production of sports, children’s, men’s, women’s or safety shoes. 

Unagreen surpassed the other adhesives in all laboratory, production and also tests, in what Una considers the most important: the consumer test.

It is in everyday life that Unagreen reveals its superiority. Abrasion, impact, dust, water, abuse, a true torture session that lasts the entire life of the shoe. 

The Unagreen Bonding System allows shoes to go through all of this without the slightest detachment. All of this is the result of an intense development work that, together with a permanent technical support, guarantees to the footwear industries, a very high quality in their products. 

Quality that can be seen in the sharp decrease in rework and take-off returns, often reaching the ZERO index.
